Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You're probably just too old and bitter to have gotten the noob memo that tells you that as a newer player, you should hate and fear anyone who has significantly more skill points than you. Apparently all they want to do is kill you with their multiboxed alts, and have no useful knowledge to impart, since skill in EVE is directly equivalent to how many accounts you can PLEX.

Jokes aside, I think maybe OP made the mistake that a lot of new players make. They start with carebearing activities, because let's face it, it's easy, every game pushes you into them, and a lot of people don't want to do anything else. Then they need buddies, so they join a carebear corp. And that's where the learning pretty much stops, because outside of incursions, there's really no strategy to carebearing. You just keep grinding skills to fly new shiny ships that you will never wring performance out of because all you ever do with them is kill NPCs.

I started out doing carebear activities. I still do them. I explore, run combat plexes and DED sites, occasionally daytrip to highsec to work on faction standings or LP with some missions, or go down a wormhole and run some anomalies. But what's teaching me to be better is doing exactly what Mole Guy suggested. I found a PvP corp and joined it. Lord knows, I suck, but I can tell that I'm getting better all the time. And there's a lot of people in corp that know a lot of things, and are willing to teach them to me, and help me improve. I don't fear low or null (although null isn't always a cost effective choice depending on what jump clone I'm in) anymore, because I'm better equipped to hold my own.

Anyway OP. Quit crying about bitter vets. There's plenty, to be sure. But there's a lot more that are just plain vets, and they have a lot to teach, if you'll let them. And as to why there's no nullsec forum here? I imagine there's little point. The big alliances have their own forums that serve better than any one sub-forum could serve here.

I am sure there is lot to talk about. Different fleet compositions, resources, announcing new null sec corps, null sec recruitement, industry deals, different type of arrangements for security. There should be tons of stuff to talk about.

CCP claims that EVE is social game show that it is.

I already addressed what I said to Mole Guy. I won't go over it again.




What comes to multiboxers I have had several encounters to multiboxers both in low sec and WH space. I also believe it to be very common in gate camps and station games due to current game mechanic allowing both to be sunday picnic. Even I do run scout and scanner on second account, occassionally providing fleet buff. But yes those multiboxers I have enjoyed running into have been running 4-5 accounts simultaneously. And even in fanfest alliance panel PL announced that they had several capitals / titans they could multibox. So yes its everyday eve..




What comes to not having perfect skill. I do not expect my skills to be perfect but I simply state that its ridiculous how big effect skills have on your ships performance. I like skills and its very nice that we have goals! But come on lets say you up most skills to 4 and those that you have to train to V you can still get overall improvement of more than 5 percent almost to every aspect to the ship just by adding that last level. this 5% is big value when it comes to every skill you have.



I do not believe money is the issue in null. Not at least when you are careful. But you most likely need connections in null sec corps, of course you can do it without corps but then your risk is all the greater. What comes null being more secure than highsec. Honestly right now I have not been able to figure a way to keep local and dscan drones overview.. Important things on my screen at one time. I am sure it gets better when you get used to it but I simply can get every important thing to fit. Its bit over to top to say that anyway.. Since you have roamers, null politics, your corp mate that simply is pissed about you and so on :p


I do not know the exact term on renter alliance but that sounds just fancy way of putting it when you pay "secure" money. I am not even nullsec player and its getting quite repeative the most in control alliances. Yes there is always interesting bits happening but goons are still major so is test alliance. I spoke with some EVE vets that have stopped playing the game and they complained that devs favored goons and their ally test alliance. I did not really pay attention to this story but I believe it was genuine. What I am also worried about that EVE devs are part of the game and that they will drive null sec to perhaps to their own favor. Speaking of that I think it was cool for CCP to actually allow people to have input to the seed where the T2 mats spawn next. Its quite irrelevant but still cool :p So soon we might see some reorganization of null sec when alliances acquire some new nice systems :p
